What Parents Should Know

Mild PerilMild

Very minor accidents like spills or getting wet.

Sensitive Topics

This book does not deal with heavy topics like death or trauma. It focuses on low-stakes, everyday stressors. The approach is secular and highly metaphorical for a child's own daily frustrations.

Ideal Reader

A 4-year-old who is perfectionistic or prone to 'meltdowns' when things don't go exactly as planned. It is for the child who needs a soft model of cognitive reframing.
